about

This song is for my friends on LI and everywhere that I don't get to see that often, and how many of those friendships started with conversations about the bands we love.

lyrics

Sometimes I think I would be better off if I was born in the shadow of Manhattan. I identify with a quiet existence.
Raising myself on Leatherface in the 90's in my bedroom alone, making other people's basements into my home.

Growing up in a no-name town on the border of Nassau and Suffolk. You'd love to know what it's like to not be constantly stuck in traffic.

And I longed for those VFW halls, on all my favorite bands' best records. By the time I arrived the legions were gone, replaced by angry neighbors.
Sometimes I think I would be better off if I was born on Long Island.
I identify with a lifelong struggle to prove myself.

Growing up in a no-name town on the border of Nassau and Suffolk. Perpetual disappointment in these clouded mindsets. It's the same kind of romantic bullshit that you read about in colonial novels.

Looking to the East, the philosophical West, looks for an answer to all its' Troubles.

Despite the high cost of living, the concept of home is worth the bills and the headaches.
